The city architect of Budva, Ana Samardžić, will have to decide again whether to approve the conceptual design of the new hotel "Kraljičina Plaža" in Miločerski Park, after the Ministry of Sustainable Development and Tourism (MORT) accepted the appeal of the company "Adritic Properties" of the Greek businessman Petros Statis and returned to the Municipality of Budva for re-decision.
This summer, during the time when the city was managed by the mayor Dragan Krapović, Samardžić interrupted the process of giving consent to HTP "Miločer" and Statis's company on the conceptual design, arguing that the process of issuing a building permit before the relevant ministry had not been completed.
As the Municipality of Budva was given the status of a party in the procedure for issuing a building permit, and the local administration made it clear that it would not allow the construction of apartments for the market and concreting of Miločerski Park, but only reconstruction in the existing dimensions, Statis' company took advantage of the moment of the adoption of the new law, gave up the construction permit, and submitted a request under the new regulations in order to get the green light for construction. MORT forwarded the request for consent to the conceptual design to the chief architect of Budva.
"By studying the case file, it was established that in the conclusion on the suspension of the MORT procedure, there is no finality clause, it cannot be treated that the administrative procedure has been legally terminated," Samardžić stated then in the explanation of the decision. However, the department, headed by Minister Pavle Radulović, annulled the decision of the Budva chief architect and sent the case back for retrial.
"The Ministry considered the appeal decision, the appeal and the case files and decided that the conditions have been met for the first-instance public law authority (chief city architect) to decide on the request of HTP "Miločer" and "Adriatic properties" to approve the conceptual solution for the construction of the hotel", it is stated in the decision signed by Radulović, which "Vijesti" had access to.
Radulović also explained that decision by the fact that in mid-December last year, the Administrative Court rejected the lawsuit of the Municipality of Budva, which complained about the decision of MORT to terminate the procedure for issuing a building permit. And while it was going through legal entanglements, Statis' company demolished the old hotel "Kraljičina plaža" and practically prepared the ground for the start of the construction of a new, luxurious hotel with five stars, as an annex with apartments for the market.
In the meantime, there was also a change in the leadership position in Budva, so that after two years of the mandate, as the coalition agreement predicted, Krapović ceded the position of mayor to Budva DF leader Marko Bata Carević. Bearing in mind that Krapović was consistent in respecting the parliamentary declaration, not allowing the construction of apartments for the market in Miločerski Park and that all buildings remain in the same dimensions, it remains to be seen whether Tsarević will stay on the same course or have a compromise attitude.
The government has given consent to double the capacity
In the program task of the hotel resort "Miločer" on a total of 35 hectares, which includes the area from Pržno to Sveti Stefan, it is planned to have a total gross construction area of 47.249.12 square meters, as much as existing, as well as extended and newly built buildings. In addition to the construction of twice the size of the Queen's Beach and 66 apartments, the reconstruction and addition of five old villas in Miločerski Park, whose square footage will be tripled, is possible.
Namely, in 29 locations, the Government, by adopting the program tasks, gave the green light for existing capacities to be duplicated. In the hinterland of Kraljeva plaža, a helipad will be built, while instead of a prefab garage in front of the hotel "Sveti Stefan" at the very entrance to the complex, the construction of a twice as large, four-story garage is planned. Instead of two illegal concrete buildings, where there is a laundry room and other rooms for the needs of the city hotel, it is planned to adapt and add to it, turning it into 12 apartments.
In addition to the hotel, the construction of 66 apartments for the market is planned
According to the urban-architectural solution adopted by the Government, a new hotel can be built on the site where the old hotel "Kraljičina plaža" is located, with a maximum gross construction area of 22.058, and the height of the hotel must not exceed 22 meters. The maximum number of floors for this location, as written in the document, is a basement, two basement levels, ground floor and four floors. The hotel would have 60 rooms, and the construction of an annex with 66 apartments for the market is planned on the plot next to it. "Adriatic properties" is a long-term tenant of the city hotels "Sveti Stefan" and "Vile Miločer" as well as the hotel "Kraljičina plaža" according to lease agreements concluded in 2007 with HG "Budvanska riviera", i.e. HTP Miločer. The Parliament of Montenegro extended the lease of "Svetog Stefan", "Vila Miločer" and "Kraljičina plaža" from 30 to 42 years, while the land next to Kraljičina beach, where the construction of an annex with apartments is planned, was leased for 90 years.
